There's a fundamental difference here with the WinDRM ham software and DReaM broadcast software.
The Ham version is a "soundcard mode" not requiring any modifications to your radio. This mode uses the MELP codec. For broadcast DRM you'll need to extract the audio before any filtering etc which is why modifications are required to your radio. Also, the preferred method of broadcast DRM listening is via a 12KHz IF (not commonly found in HF RX's) and utilises the MP4 and AAC+ codecs not found in the ham world. As an aside, I also noted that QST had an article on Linux under the heading of "Eclectic Technology". Where the hell have they been? Linux has been mainstream for over 10 years with the 2nd largest installed server platform on Wall Street!
